ABSTRACT

Abstract When teeth are present at birth, pediatricians frequently seek the opinion of a dentist. These teeth are known as natal or neonatal depending on whether they are present at birth or appear during the first month of life. It is not uncommon for natal and neonatal teeth to have no root, and due to their weak bond to the gingival tissue they can come loose and be breathed in or swallowed by the child during breast feeding. While natal and neonatal teeth are not a pathological entity per se, there are certain genetic syndromes whose features include natal or neonatal teeth.
